Hi Everyone,
The Spectrum Economics solve the puzzles contests are back. This will be the fifteenth solve the puzzle contest. This post contains 4 puzzles. The first person to solve all the puzzles wins 5 SBD. If we do not get a winner, the prize money of this contest will be added to the available winnings of the next puzzle contest.
How to Enter
To enter requires 1 upvote. Each entrant into the contest is only allowed 1 attempt. The attempt needs to be done in the comments section of the post. In previous contests, I have allowed 2 attempts but because of the number of responses I have been receiving, my steem power has been struggling to keep up.
I expect the answers to be presented in following format:
Answer 1
Answer 2
Answer 3
Answer 4a and 4b
Unique Question 1
The answer to Question 1 will differ for each participant. The answer to Question 1 will be based on the username of the participant. The participants will be expected to convert their own username into a number based on the logic presented in the question.
For example: Numbers 0 to 9 are also 0 to 9. A = 10, B =11, C=12, etc, @ = 36, - = 37, . = 0. Add the values of odd positioned numbers and subtract the values of the even positioned numbers to get the score for your name. E.g. @rnp22-9 = 36-27+23-25+2-2+37-9=35, therefore @spectrumecons = -10.
The logic will change each week but the information provided will be sufficient to determine the number for each participant.
Other information
The closing date and time for the contest is 6PM USA Eastern Time 28/03/2018. Responses after this time will not be accepted. The answers will be provided in the comments section after the contest closes. The explanations for the answers will be provided in a separate post a few days after the contest closes.
The winner of the contest will be announced in the comments section. The 5 SBD will be paid to the winner as soon as I receive the payout from the post. All attempts in the comments section will receive an upvote regardless of answers provided. Considering that you are putting in the effort to attempt these questions, I feel that this effort also deserves rewarding. The value of the upvote will depend upon my voting power at the time. Good luck everybody.
Let the Contest Begin
Question 1: Find the value of your username using the information in the question
Question 2: Replace the question mark with the correct answer
Question 3: Replace the question mark with the correct answer
Question 4: Replace both question marks with the correct answers
Thank you for participating.
